Knightsbridge Advisers has dedicated more than four decades to building a portfolio of premier venture capital partnerships in the industry and providing investors access to strong-performing venture investments.
Our Approach
We access revolutionary companies via: Primary early- and growth-stage venture capital partnerships; LP fund transfers, GP-led transactions, and secondary directs in mature venture-backed companies; and Co-investments.
We believe the key to out-performance throughout the venture cycle is to leverage expertise and remain disciplined. Reactionary investment strategies that change with the venture cycle have led many venture investors to experience poor performance.
In our primary allocations, Knightsbridge addresses these industry dynamics by maintaining a responsible fund size, focusing on early stage, long-standing manager relationships, investing in every vintage year, and carefully conducting diligence on investments.
In our secondary investments, Knightsbridge seeks to exploit inefficiencies in the venture capital investment process to build a portfolio of some of the most appealing assets in the venture capital ecosystem. Knightsbridge utilizes its experience, network, and access to identify and locate innovative company and portfolio investment opportunities.
